Boardwalk+(The),+Asbury+Park,+NJ

Along the waterfront James A. Bradley installed a boardwalk. The 1920s saw a dramatic change in the boardwalk with the construction of the Paramount Theatre and Convention Hall complex, the Casino Arena and Carousel House, and two handsome red-brick pavilions.

The boardwalk in Asbury Park is in the process of revitalization and has recently been connected to the neighboring town of Ocean Grove, New Jersey. Asbury Park boasts a one mile long Boardwalk which is located 60 miles south of New York City, and about 90 minutes north of Atlantic City. Asbury Park is the birth home of Bruce Springsteen, Danny Devito and Jack Nicholson. Like the Phoenix rising from the ashes, Asbury Park is in the middle of a major redevelopment project right now. The Queen of the northern Jersey Shore is about to return to its former place of glory! Once known as the "Crown Jewel" of the Jersey Shore, Asbury Park is really going to try to make a comeback, and should be near finished by 2009. Try to catch it while the old buildings still exist, like “Madame Marie’s” brightly painted fortune telling booth made famous by Bruce Springsteen. The old Casino Pier is closed. It once contained a skating rink, roller derby, and amusements. The Casino has been a backdrop for the “Soprano’s” TV show and in the movie “City by the Sea.” In the next few years, the city promises shops, arcades, and goodie stands. 2007 brings new excitement as the boardwalk undergoes refurbishing. Several entrepreneurs have already opened new shops on the boardwalk, taking advantage of rent concessions to move into the old pavilions lining the boardwalk. On the first Saturday of every month, Asbury Park's downtown art galleries, home design studios, restaurants, antique shops, and clothing boutiques remain open throughout the evening, serving Hors d’œuvres and offering entertainment, to showcase the city's residential and commercial resurgence. //Source: Wikipedia | Homepage | Guide | Facebook//
